Votes at a glance: compliance approvals and economic-development appointment
At the April 22 Columbia City Common Council meeting the council took two formal actions with votes recorded in the minutes:

1) Compliance-with-statement-of-benefits approvals and abatement extension: The council moved and approved in bulk a set of compliance filings and granted an additional year of abatement where applicable. The motion listed several DOT America real‑ and personal‑property entries (including 2014‑15, 2017‑23, 2021‑20 and others), JV Investment 2015‑21 real property, and VR Real Estate 2018‑3 real property. The motion was made by Leslie and seconded by Tad; the clerk recorded the result as "unanimous of those present." The meeting transcript does not give an exact numeric vote tally.

2) Economic Development Commission appointment: The council voted to appoint Tad to the Columbia City Economic Development Commission, a three‑member board required to create certain economic development areas (the city plans to consider a new TIF district north of Walmart). The motion was moved by Dan and seconded by Jenny; council members Dan, Jenny and Leslie voted in favor as recorded in the transcript. The appointment is a two‑year term for the common-council seat. The transcript indicates some members abstained or were not present for that vote but does not list a full roll-call tally.

Notes: Both actions were recorded in the meeting as approved; the transcript supplies mover/second attribution for the motions and records the outcomes but does not list complete numerical vote counts for either item. For official vote totals, consult the signed meeting minutes or city clerk's record.
